Promising type. Second of 8 in maiden at Haydock (6f, firm, 4/1) on debut 29 days ago. Open to progress and he should have a part to play in the finish.

6/1

Promising type. 22/1, second of 11 in minor event at Newcastle (6f) on debut 20 days ago, not knocked about. Good chance of going one better here, providing she gets away on terms.

Forecasts

Al Barez (11/8), Sikorsky (5/2), Kape Moss (6/1), Star Zinc (7/1), Anniversary Belle (15/2), Prince Of Flight (28/1), Always Amazed (40/1), Spirit Of The Age (200/1), Fast Flo (250/1)

Martyn Meade boasts a very respectable strike rate with 2-y-os this season and SIKORSKY wouldn't need to be out of the ordinary to make a winning debut. The Dubawi colt ticks plenty of the right boxes on paper and the hint should be taken if he's strong in the betting. Kape Moss shaped well on debut at Newcastle and is feared most ahead of fellow promising types Al Barez and Anniversary Belle.
